INTERSCHOLASTIC TRACK MEET 


GENERAL INFORMATION 

It is hoped that it may he possible to hold an 
Inter scholastic Basketball Tournament at the time 
of the Interscholastic Meet. The details had not 
been arranged at the time of the printing of this 
bulletin, but information will be conveyed to the 
High Schools of the State by letter as arrangements 
are made. The Tournament will be under the joint 
auspices of the New Mexico High School Athletic 
Association and the University of New Mexico. 
High Schools wishing to take part should write im¬ 
mediately to the President of the Athletic Council 
at the University, or to O. Stanley Dresher, Secre¬ 
tary of the N. M. II. S. A. A., at Carlsbad, N. M. 
Suggestions will be gladly received. 

The New Mexico Inter scholastic Meet began in 
1915 with only two schools, Albuquerque and Santa 
Fe, competing, and in the short time intervening it 
has grown until it is expected that nearly twenty 
High Schools will have representatives in the 1916 
meet. 

The Santa Fe Railway will, as usual, grant low 
round trip rates to contestants and others coming 
to Albuquerque for the Interscholastic Meet. Many 
of the teams in the more inaccessible parts of the 
State have been coming to the meets in automobiles, 
and find this a very satisfactory method of travel. 
Among those using this method of transportation 
entirely or in part are Artesia, Roswell, Tucumcari 
and Santa Fe. 

Contestants and coaches will be the guests of the 
University during the Meet. Sleeping quarters will 
be provided in the University dormitories and else- 


UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO 


19 


where and meals will be served in the University 
Dining Hall at hours to be announced later. Each 
contestant will receive a meal ticket entitling him 
to meals at the University Dining Hall Thursday 
evening to Sunday morning, inclusive. 

The championship cup, the championship banner, 
the relay cup and the individual medals for first, 
second and third will be awarded and presented 
Saturday evening, at a time to be announced later. 

Contestants arriving in Albuquerque should go 
directly to the University where accommodations 
will be provided. If the authorities are notified in 
advance of the time of arrival a committee will be at 
the train to meet all visitors. It might be well to 
write to spme student in the University who is a 
graduate of your high school. He will be glad to 
help you in any way. 

The Meet will be held on the University field, as 
it was last year, and there will be a special “jitney” 
service for visitors. The street car line is now being 
extended to the University, and will be ready for 
service by the opening of the school year of 1916-17. 

It is especially hoped that many new schools will 
send representatives this year. The schools which 
have taken part in the past know and appreciate its 
value. It is not necessary to send a full team in 
order to win in the individual events, and the bene¬ 
fit to the boys taking part and to the High Schools 
they represent is very great.

lated the rules of the Association in regard to the qualifications 
of players shall be awarded special honors in that particular 
branch of athletics. 

Sec. 6. (a) When charges are made in writing by a member 
of the Association against another member for violation of the

mands disinterested officials at the time of scheduling the 
game, such officials shall be furnished. The Board shall drop

ly to these secondary schools. 

Sec. 19. No game shall be played with high schools of this 
state not belonging to the Association. 

This rule does not prevent a member of the Association from

non-high school teams within the state, except as follows: 

It is a violation of the Constitution for schools in the Associa¬ 
tion to play non-high school teams including high schools boys,

school to which they belong. 

Sec. 20. The games recognized by the N. M. H. S. A. A. shall

duties, each acting as umpire during one-half. 

RULES. 

ELIGIBILITY. 

Rule 1. To represent a school in any interscholastic contest 
the contestant must be under twenty-one years of age except 
by mutual consent, must have entered some public high school 
within the first twenty school days of the semester in which the 
contest occurs, and must be an amateur as defined by the A. A. 
U. A semester is one-half of the school year. 

The term “ Amateur” is defined and fully explained on pages 
80 and 160 of Spalding’s 11 Official Y. M. C. A. Athletic League 
Handbook.” 


N. M. H. S. A. A. 


27 


Rule 3. A pupil withdrawing permanently from school within 
the first twenty school days of the semestei shall not be re¬ 
garded as having an opportunity to engage in athletics for that 
semester unless he has already played in one or more Inter¬ 
scholastic games, in which case he shall be regarded as having 
engaged in athletics for that season. 

Rule 4. Post Graduates are not eligible, but pupils graduat¬ 
ing from regular three-year courses shall not be deemed post 
graduates. 

Rule 5. A student is a post graduate of a school after he has 
completed the work required for graduation by that school, irre¬ 
spective of the time of granting the diploma. 

Rule 6. Time spent in athletic sport by pupils while in the 
grades below the High School shall not be counted as a part of 
the four years. 

Rule 7. No person shall enter a contest under an assumed 
name. 

Rule 8. Any member of a High School athletic team who par¬ 
ticipates in an athletic contest as a member of any other similar 
team the same season, shall be ineligible to compete under these 
rules for the remainder of that season. 

An exception is hereby made for basketball and basketball 
players in those towns and cities whose schools have no gymna¬ 
sium and whose students are forced by necessity to use a Y. M. 
C. A. or some other gymnasium for their practice games. It is a 
well-known fact that the use of such gymnasium by High School 
students under such circumstances will likely require that such 
students play on the teams of the organizations maintaining 
such gymnasiums. No student, however, will be allowed to play 
in any other teams without the knowledge and consent of his 
principal. 

Rule 9. Each contestant must have and be maintaining for 
the current semester, a passing grade in each of three or more 
studies requiring a minimum of fifteen regular high school reci¬ 
tations per week exclusive of rhetoricals, physical culture, mili¬ 
tary drill and deportment. In his last preceding semester in 
school he must also have met the same requirements throughout 
the entire term. 

Pupils enrolled for the first time must comply with the re¬ 
quirements of the rules, the average standing required for the 
preceding semester being obtained from the records in the last 
secondary school attended. 

Back work may be made up, providing it be done in accord¬ 
ance with the regular rules of the school and becomes a matter 
of final record before the next semester. 


28 


CONSTITUTION 


Interpretations: In each of the studies represented as the 
minimum requirements of work specified above: (a) for the 
current semester the average of the monthly grades up to the 
time of certification must be passing; (b) for the current or 
school month the average of the daily or weekly grades must be 
passing; (c) if the average of the monthly grades at the be¬ 
ginning of any month is below passing in any study, the pupil 
is ineligible so far as that study is concerned for the entire 
month. 

Rule 10. No person who has been enrolled as a student in an 
institution of college standing and has done work which may be 
counted toward a degree in that institution, shall be eligible as 
a member of any athletic team under N. M. H. S. A. A. rules in 
any game with any other team, either within or without the 
state of New Mexico. 

Rule 11. The eligibility rules of this Association shall apply 
to students taking part in all contests, whether with schools in¬ 
side or outside of the State of New Mexico. 

INTERPRETATIONS. 

First. A game is any athletic contest where an admission fee 
is charged, or where any collection or contribution is received 
from spectators. 

Second. The football season is defined as beginning with the 
opening of school and closing with November 30. 

Third. No student who violates the rules of the Association 
will be reinstated by the Board for one year from date of vio¬ 
lation. 

Fourth. A pupil who has played in one or more Interscholastic 
games in any season shall be regarded as having engaged in 
athletics for that season. 

Fifth. When a member or members of any team are protested, 
the game should be played*as scheduled and the protest filed 
with the Board for settlement later. 

Sixth. By mutual consent of both teams, pupils over the age 
limit may be allowed to enter the contest played under the 
N. M, H. S. A. A. 

Sevfctrthy Pupils under twenty-one at the time of registration 
in school 4hall be so regarded until the time of their next reg¬ 
istration. 

Eighth. Any student who carries at least 15 hours of regular 
High School work, is a High School student. 

NOTES. 

1. All correspondence and remittances from members of the 
Association to the Board of Control or to the Secretary must be 
indorsed by the principal or a member of the faculty.
